More specifically, these compounds of the invention can be used as inhibitors of influenza virus RNA polymerase.

BACKGROUND

Influenza (the following referred to as flu) is an acute respiratory infectious disease and harmful to human health, which is caused by the influenza virus and characterized by high prevalence, widespread, rapid propagation. Influenza virus can cause serious symptoms in the elderly and children with weaker immune systems, and immunocompromised patients, such as pneumonia or cardiopulmonary failure. Influenza virus was first discovered in 1933 by Wilson Smith, a British, who called influenza virus as H1N1. The H denotes hemagglutinin; the N denotes neuraminidase, and the numbers represent different types. Influenza virus has caused the global pandemic for many times since the discovery, and the outbreak of influenza virus happens every decade or so, which causes enormous losses in worldwide. Influenza spreads around the world in a yearly outbreak, resulting in about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths, and about three to five million cases of severe illness, and a total of about 5% to 15% of people in worldwide are infected. Every time a pandemic was due to the emergence of new strains in humans. Usually, these new strains are caused by the spread of existing influenza virus from other animal species to humans.

Influenza viruses are RNA viruses belong to the family of orthomyxoviridae, which belong to the genus of influenza virus. According to the differences of the virion nucleoprotein (NP) and matrix protein (M) antigenic characteristics and genetic characteristics, influenza viruses are divided into three types: A, B and C. The three types of influenza viruses have similar biochemical and biological characteristics. The virus particle is 80-120 nanometers in diameter and usually roughly spherical, although filamentous forms can occur. Virus is constituted with three layers, and the inner layer is the viral nucleocapsid containing nucleoprotein (NP), P protein and RNA. NP is a soluble antigen (S antigen) with type specificity and antigenic stability. P protein (P1, P2, P3) may be polymerase required for RNA transcription and replication. Middle viral envelope consists of a lipoid layer and a layer of membrane protein (MP), MP has antigenic stability and type specificity. Outer layer is a radial tuber consisting of two different glycoprotein projections, i.e., hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). H is a tool for viral absorption on sensitive cell surface which can cause agglutination of erythrocyte, N is a tool for breaking away from cell surface after the completing of virus replication, which is capable of hydrolyzing mucus protein and N-acetylneuraminic acid that locates at the end of cell surface specific glycoprotein receptor. H and N both have variation characteristics, and only have the strain specific antigen, the antibody of which has a protective effect.

Influenzavirus A has one species, influenza A virus. Wild aquatic birds are the natural hosts for a large variety of influenza A. Occasionally, viruses are transmitted to other species and may then cause devastating outbreaks in domestic poultry or give rise to human influenza pandemics. The type A virus is the most virulent human pathogen among the three influenza types and cause the severest disease, and can be transmitted to other species and may then cause human influenza pandemic. The influenza A virus can be subdivided into different serotypes based on the antibody response to these viruses. The serotypes that have been confirmed in humans, ordered by the number of known human pandemic deaths, are: H1N1, which caused Spanish Flu in 1918; H2N2, which caused Asian Flu in 1957; H3N2, which caused Hong Kong Flu in 1968; H5N1, which caused pandemic threats in the influenza season of 2007-2008; H7N7, which has unusual zoonotic potential; H1N2, endemic in humans and pigs; H9N2; H7N2; H7N3; and H10N7.

Influenzavirus B has one species, influenza B virus, which causes local epidemic influenza and can not cause the global influenza pandemic. The only animals known to be susceptible to influenza B infection are humans and the seal. This type of influenza mutates at a rate 2-3 times slower than type A and consequently is less genetically diverse, with only one influenza B serotype. As a result of this lack of antigenic diversity, a degree of immunity to influenza B is usually acquired at an early age. However, influenza B mutates enough that lasting immunity is not possible. This reduced rate of antigenic change, combined with its limited host range (inhibiting cross species antigenic shift), ensures that pandemics of influenza B do not occur.

Influenzavirus C has one species, influenza C virus, which exists in sporadic form, and usually only causes mild disease in children. Influenzavirus C usually can not cause influenza pandemic, and infect humans and pigs.

Unusually for a virus, its genome is not a single piece of nucleic acid; instead, it contains seven or eight pieces of segmented negative-sense RNA. The genome of influenza A viruses encodes 11 proteins: hemagglutinin (H), neuraminidase (N), nucleoprotein (N), M1, M2, NS1, NS2 (NEP), PA, PB1 (polymerase basic 1), PB1-F2 and PB2. Hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) are the two large glycoproteins on the outside of the viral particles. HA is a lectin that mediates binding of the virus to target cells and entry of the viral genome into the target cell, while NA is involved in the release of progeny virus from infected cells, by cleaving sugars that bind the mature viral particles. Thus, these proteins are targets for antiviral drugs. Furthermore, they are antigens to which antibodies can be raised. Influenza A viruses are classified into subtypes based on antibody responses to H and N. These different types of HA and NA form the basis of the H and N distinctions in, for example, H5N1.

Vaccination and usage of antiviral drugs are important tools for responsing to influenza pandemic. Due to the high mutation rate of the flu virus antigen, the vaccine can't be produced in large scale before influenza pandemic. The two classes of antiviral drugs used against influenza are M2 protein inhibitors (amantadine and rimantadine) and neuraminidase inhibitors (oseltamivir, zanamivir, peramivir and Laninamivir). However, the influenza viruses have developed drug resistance to all these drugs. Therefore, a continuing demand for new anti-influenza treatment agent exists.

Favipiravir, a new antiviral agent, having a new mechanism has been launched, which plays antiviral action by inhibiting influenza virus RNA polymerase to target the inhibition of viral gene replication, but the therapeutic effect and the drug resistance of influenza viruses still need to be proved. Therefore, other compounds as anti-influenza agents of this mechanism still need to be researched.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions and General Terminology

Reference will now be made in detail to certain embodiments disclosed herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying structures and formulas. The invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications, and equivalents that may be included within the scope disclosed herein. One skilled in the art will recognize many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein, which could be used in the practice of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to the methods and materials described herein. In the event that one or more of the incorporated literature, patents, and similar materials differs from or contradicts this application, including but not limited to defined terms, term usage, described techniques, or the like, this application prevails.

It is further appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in the context of separate embodiments, can also be provided in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context of a single embodiment, can also be provided separately or in any suitable subcombination.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one skilled in the art to which this invention belongs. All patents and publications referred to herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

As used herein, the following definitions shall be applied unless otherwise indicated. For purposes disclosed herein, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, and the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75 thEd. 1994. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry are described in Sorrell et al., “Organic Chemistry”, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and “March's Advanced Organic Chemistry”, by Michael B. Smith and Jerry March, John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2007, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

As used herein, the term “subject” refers to an animal. Typically the animal is a mammal. The subject also refers to primates (e.g., humans), cows, sheep, goats, horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, birds and the like. In certain embodiments, the subject is a primate. In other embodiments, the subject is a human.

The term “subject” can be used interchangeablely with “patient” in the invention. The term “subject” and “patient” refer to animals (eg., birds such as chicken, quail or turkey, or mammals), specially mammals including non-primates (eg., cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, dogs, cats and mice) and primates (eg., monkeys, chimpanzees and humans), more specially humans. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human animal, such as livestock (eg., horses, cattle, pigs or sheep) or pet (eg., dogs, cats, guinea pigs or rabbits). In other some embodiments, the “patient” refers to a human.

Any formula given herein is also intended to represent isotopically unenriched forms as well as isotopically enriched forms of the compounds. Isotopically enriched compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁶O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁶S, ¹⁸F and ³⁷Cl, respectively.

The compounds disclosed herein containing isotopes described above or other atom isotopes and pharmaceutical salts thereof are included within the scope of the present invention. Certain isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention, for example those into which radioactive isotopes such as ³H or ¹⁴C are incorporated, are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Because of easy preparation and detection, isotopes such as tritiated, i.e., ³H, and carbon-14, i.e., ¹⁴C are preferred. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., ²H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Therefore, the heavier isotopes may be preferred in somewhere.

Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984) McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994. The compounds disclosed herein may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein, including, but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and l or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (−) or l meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate, which may occur where there has been no stereoselection or stereospecificity in a chemical reaction or process.

Depending on the choice of the starting materials and procedures, the compounds can be present in the form of one of the possible stereoisomers or as mixtures thereof, such as racemates and diastereoisomer mixtures, depending on the number of asymmetric carbon atoms. Optically active (R)- and (S)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycloalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans-configuration.

The compounds disclosed herein may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein, including but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers, atropisomers and geometric (conformational) isomers as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention.

Unless otherwise specified, the Formula described herein also contain all the isomers thereof (such as, enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers and geometric (conformational) isomers; such as all (R)- and (S)-isomers, (Z) and (E) isomers around the double bond, (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, or geometric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope disclosed herein.

The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. Where tautomerization is possible (e.g., in solution), a chemical equilibrium of tautomers can be reached. For example, proton tautomers (also known as prototropic tautomers) include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations. Valence tautomers include interconversions by reorganization of some of the bonding electrons. A specific example of keto-enol tautomerization is the interconversion of pentane-2,4-dione and 4-hydroxypent-3-en-2-one tautomers. Another example of tautomerization is phenol-keto tautomerization. The specific example of phenol-keto tautomerisms is pyridin-4-ol and pyridin-4(1H)-one tautomerism. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds disclosed herein are within the scope of the invention.

An “N-oxide” refers to one or more than one nitrogen atoms oxidised to form an N-oxide or N-oxides, where a compound contains several amine functions. Particular examples of N-oxides are the N-oxides of a tertiary amine or a nitrogen ring atom of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle. N-oxides can be formed by treatment of the corresponding amine with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide or a per-acid (e.g., a peroxycarboxylic acid) (See, Advanced Organic Chemistiy, by Jerry March, 4th Edition, Wiley Interscience, pages). More particularly, N-oxides can be made by the procedure of L. W. Deady (Syn. Comm. 1977, 7, 509-514) in which the amine compound is reacted with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA), for example, in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane.

The term “solvate” refers to an association or complex of one or more solvent molecules and a compound disclosed herein. Some non-limiting examples of the solvent that form solvates include water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), ethyl acetate, acetic acid and ethanolamine. The term “hydrate” refers to the complex where the solvent molecule is water.

A “metabolite” is a product produced through metabolism in the body of a specified compound or salt thereof. The metabolites of a compound may be identified using routine techniques known in the art and their activities determined using tests such as those described herein. Such products may result for example from oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, amidation, deamidation, esterification, deesterification, enzyme cleavage, and the like, of the administered compound. Accordingly, the invention includes metabolites of compounds disclosed herein, including metabolites produced by contacting a compound disclosed herein with a mammal for a sufficient time period.

A “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to organic or inorganic salts of a compound disclosed herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66: 1-19, which is incorporated herein by reference. Some non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable and nontoxic salts include salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid and malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, laurylsulfate, malate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N⁺(C₁₋₄ alkyl)₄ salts. This invention also envisions the quaternization of any basic nitrogen-containing groups of the compounds disclosed herein. Water or oilsoluble or dispersable products may be obtained by such quaternization. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, C₁₋₈ sulfonate or aryl sulfonate.

The term “prodrug” refers to a compound that is transformed in vivo into a compound of Formula (I). Such a transformation can be affected, for example, by hydrolysis of the prodrug form in blood or enzymatic transformation to the parent form in blood or tissue. Prodrugs of the compounds disclosed herein may be, for example, esters. Some common esters which have been utilized as prodrugs are phenyl esters, aliphatic (C₁-C₂₄) esters, acyloxymethyl esters, carbonates, carbamates and amino acid esters. For example, a compound disclosed herein that contains a hydroxy group may be acylated at this position in its prodrug form. Other prodrug forms include phosphates, such as, those phosphate compounds derived from the phosphonation of a hydroxy group on the parent compound. A thorough discussion of prodrugs is provided in T. Higuchi and V. Stella, Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, Edward B. Roche, ed., Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, J. Rautio et al., Prodrugs: Design and Clinical Applications, Nature Review Drug Discovery, 2008, 7, 255-270, and S. J. Hecker et al., Prodrugs of Phosphates and Phosphonates, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, 51, 2328-2345, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

Any asymmetric atom (e.g., carbon or the like) of the compound(s) disclosed herein can be present in racemic or enantiomerically enriched, for example the (R)-, (S)—(R, R)-, (S, S)-, (S, R)- or (R,S)-configuration. In certain embodiments, each asymmetric atom has at least 50% enantiomeric excess, at least 60% enantiomeric excess, at least 70% enantiomeric excess, at least 80% enantiomeric excess, at least 90% enantiomeric excess, at least 95% enantiomeric excess, or at least 99% enantiomeric excess in the (R)- or (S)-configuration. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be (Z)- or (E)-configuration.

Therefore, as the invention described, the compound disclosed herein may exsit in the form of any possible isomer, such as rotational isomer, atropisomer, tautomer, or a mixture thereof, i.e., substantially pure geometric (cis- or trans-) isomer, diastereoisomer, optical isomer (enantiomer), racemate or a mixture thereof.

Any resulting mixtures of stereoisomers can be separated on the basis of the physicochemical differences of the constituents, into the pure or substantially pure geometric isomers, diastereoisomers, optical isomers, racemate, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization.

Any resulting racemates of final products or intermediates can be resolved into the optical antipodes by methods known to those skilled in the art, e.g., by separation of the diastereomeric salts thereof. Racemic products can also be resolved by chiral chromatography, e.g., high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a chiral adsorbent. Preferred enantiomers can also be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques, et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Principles of Asymmetric Synthesis (2nd Ed. Robert E. Gawley, Jeffrey Aubé, Elsevier, Oxford, UK, 2012); Eliel, E. L. Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); Wilen, S. H. Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind. 1972).

As described herein, compounds disclosed herein may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents, such as are illustrated generally below, or as exemplified by particular classes, subclasses, and species of the invention. It will be appreciated that the phrase “optionally substituted” is used interchangeably with the phrase “substituted or unsubstituted”. The term “optional” or “optionally” refers to that a subsequently described event or circumstance may but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances in which it does not. In general, whenever the term “optionally” is or is not before the term “substituted”, the term “substituted” refers to the unreplacement or replacement of one or more hydrogen radicals in a given structure with the radical of a specified substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an optionally substituted group may have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group. When more than one position in a given structure can be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituent may be either the same or different at each position. wherein the substitutents can be, but are not limited to, D, F, Cl, Br, CN, N₃, OH, NH₂, NO₂, oxo (═O), —C(═O)R^(a), —C(═O)OR^(b), —C(═O)NR^(c)R^(d), —NR^(e)C(═O)R^(a), —S(═O)₂R^(f), —S(═O)₂NR^(e)C(═O)R^(a), —S(═O)₂NR^(c)R^(d), (R^(b)O)₂P(═O)—C₀₋₂ alkylene, —OR^(b), —NR^(c)R^(d), R^(b)O—C₁₋₄ alkylene, R^(d)R^(e)N—C₁₋₄ alkylene, C₁₋₁₂ alkyl, C₁₋₆ haloalkyl, C₁₋₆ alkoxy, C₁₋₆ alkylamino, C₂₋₆ alkenyl, C₂₋₆ alkynyl, C₃₋₁₂ cycloalkyl, C₃₋₁₂ cyloalkyl-C₁₋₄ alkylene, 3- to 12-membered heterocyclyl, (3- to 12-membered heterocyclyl)-C₁₋₄ alkylene, C₆₋₁₀ aryl, C₆₋₁₀ aryl-C₁₋₄ alkylene, 5- to 16-membered heteroaryl or (5- to 16-membered heteroaryl)-C₁₋₄ alkylene; wherein each R^(a), R^(b), R^(c), R^(d), R^(e) and R^(f) is as defined herein.

Furthermore, what need to be explained is that the phrase “each . . . is independently” and “each of . . . and . . . is independently”, unless otherwise stated, should be broadly understood. The specific options expressed by the same symbol are independent of each other in different groups; or the specific options expressed by the same symbol are independent of each other in same groups.

At various places in the present specification, substituents of compounds disclosed herein are disclosed in groups or in ranges. It is specifically intended that the invention include each and every individual subcombination of the members of such groups and ranges.

At various places in the present specification, linking substituents are described. Where the structure clearly requires a linking group, the Markush variables listed for that group are understood to be linking groups. For example, if the structure requires a linking group and the Markush group definition for that variable lists “alkyl” or “aryl” then it is understood that the “alkyl” or “aryl” represents a linking alkylene group or arylene group, respectively.

In certain embodiments, the salts are derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silver, zinc, and copper; particularly suitable salts include ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium salts.

Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion exchange resins, and the like. Certain organic amines include isopropylamine, benzathine, cholinate, diethanolamine, diethylamine, lysine, meglumine, piperazine and tromethamine.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the present invention can be synthesized from a basic or acidic moiety, by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base (such as Na, Ca, Mg, or K hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate or the like), or by reacting free base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate acid. Such reactions are typically carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Generally, use of non-aqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile is desirable, where practicable. Lists of additional suitable salts can be found, e.g., in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences”, 20th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., (1985); and in “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002).

Furthermore, the compounds disclosed herein, including their salts, can also be obtained in the form of their hydrates, or include other solvents used for their crystallization. The compounds of the present invention may form solvates inherently or by design with pharmaceutically acceptable solvents (including water); therefore, it is intended that the invention embrace both solvated and unsolvated forms.

Any formula given herein is also intended to represent isotopically unenriched forms as well as isotopically enriched forms of the compounds. Isotopically enriched compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having a selected atomic mass or mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸F, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁶S, ³⁷Cl, ¹²⁵I, respectively.

In another aspect, the compounds of the invention include various isotopically enriched compounds as defined herein, for example those into which radioactive isotopes, such as ³H, ¹⁴C and ¹⁸F, or those into which non-radioactive isotopes, such as ²H and ¹³C are present. Such isotopically enriched compounds are useful in metabolic studies (with ¹⁴C), reaction kinetic studies (with, for example ²H or ³H), detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or in radioactive treatment of patients. In particular, an ¹⁸F-enriched compound may be particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies. Isotopically-enriched compounds of Formula (I) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples and Preparations using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

Further, substitution with heavier isotopes, particularly deuterium (i.e., ²H or D) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements or an improvement in therapeutic index. It is understood that deuterium in this context is regarded as a substituent of a compound of Formula (I). The concentration of such a heavier isotope, specifically deuterium, may be defined by the isotopic enrichment factor. The term “isotopic enrichment factor” as used herein means the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope. If a substituent in a compound of this invention is denoted deuterium, such compound has an isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium incorporation), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation). Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates in accordance with the invention include those wherein the solvent of crystallization may be isotopically substituted, e.g. D₂O, acetone-d₆ or DMSO-d₆.

The compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated.

Liquid formulations for oral administration include, but not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, micro-emulsion, solution, suspension, syrup and elixir. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluent commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Addition to inert diluents, the oral compositions can also contain adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifiers or suspending agent, sweeteners, flavorings and fragrances.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a compound described herein, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are specifically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds described herein with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

The solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compounds are mixed with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipients or carrier, such as sodium citrate or calcium phosphate and/or (a) fillers or swelling agents such as starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol and silicic acid; (b) adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyethylene pyrrole ketone, sucrose and gum arabic; (c) moisturizing agents such as glycerol; (d) disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato starch or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates and sodium carbonate; (e) blocker solution, such as paraffin; (f) absorption promoter such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (g) wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; (h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite, (i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, laurylsodium sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the pharmaceutical compositions may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like.

Examples of Biological Assay

By using parts of the compounds of the invention as examples, the inventors have detected antiviral and cytotoxicity activities of the compounds of the invention and pharmacokinetic properties in the following examples.

Example A Cytopathic Effect Assay (CPE Assay)

Detection of the inhibitory effect of the compound and control compound A (Compound A was prepared according to the synthetic method disclosed in WO 2016037953) against cytopathic effect (CPE) of virus H1N1 A/Weiss/43 on cellular level in vitro was carried out.

Scheme: MDCK cells (Madin-Daby canine kidney cells) were seeded in a 384-well plate with 2000 cells per well and cultured at 37° C. under 5% CO₂ condition overnight. Next day, cell culture medium was replenished with fresh medium containing relevant concentrations of test compounds and virus H1N1 A/Weiss/43 at an multiplicity of infection to yield 80-95% CPE (or the titer was 1 TOD90/well). The top concentration of the test compounds were 50 μM and then diluted by 3-fold serially for a total of 8 concentrations at 50 nM, 16.67 nM, 5.56 nM, 1.85 nM, 0.62 nM, 0.21 nM, 0.069 nM, 0.023 nM. The test condition of cytotoxicity test group was the same as described above, except that the cell culture medium of cytotoxicity test group didn't contain influenza virus. A virus control group without drug and a no virus infected cell control group without drug were set at the same time. Each group was set in duplicate, and incubated at 37° C. under 5% CO₂ condition for 5 days. The cell activity was detected by using CCK-8 kits, and the data were used for calculating the antiviral effect and cytotoxicity against virus-infected cell of the compound. Data were analyzed by using GraphPad Prism software, and the CPE inhibition ratio and cell survival ratio were calculated. EC₅₀ and CC₅₀ values were obtained according to the curve fitting.

CPE inhibition ratio=(absorbance of dosing well−absorbance of virus control well)/(absorbance of cell control well−absorbance of virus control well)×100%

cell survival ratio=(absorbance of dosing well−absorbance of medium control well)/(absorbance of cell control well−absorbance of medium control well)×100%

Table 1 shows inhibitory activities of parts of compounds in the invention and control compound A against influenza virus (A/Weiss/43(H1N1)).
